BSA | Bovine serum albumin

Albumin is the most abundant protein in the circulatory system and contributes in 80% to colloid osmotic blood pressure. In mammals, albumin is synthesized initially as preproalbumin by the liver. After removal of the signal peptide, the resultant proalbumin is further processed by removal of the six-residue propeptide from the new N-terminus. The albumin released into circulation possesses a half-life of 19 days.
